The story of Frane Selak is so hard to believe that you’d walk away from a movie, heck, a documentary of his life thinking it was too unrealistic. But it’s not. It’s a true story. Selak cheated death seven times.
He survived a train crashing into a frozen river, a plane crash by getting sucked out of the door, a bus crash, a car crashes and a few explosions. Oh. He also won the lottery after all that too.
Born in 1929 and from Croatia, Frane Selak’s terrifyingly unlucky but incredibly lucky timeline goes like this:
1930 - as a pre-born child has severe colon complications at 11 months of age. Nearly survives.
1941 - at 11 years old he nearly goes blind. Doesn't.
1962 - train flips off the track and crashes into a river killing 17 people, Selak survives.
1963 - plane crashes killing 19 people but Selak is sucked out of a malfunctioning door and lands in a haystack. He survives.
1966 - bus skids off the road and kills 4 people, Selak survives
1970 - car catches on fire but he manages to escape before it explodes. He survives.
1973 - car catches on fire and shoots flames through the air vents. He survives.
1995 - hit by a bus. He survives.
1996 - misses head on collision in his car but falls off the road. He’s ejected from his seat and holds onto a tree as the car plummets 300 foot down. He survives.
2003 - he wins about a million dollars in the lottery
2010 - he gives away the rest of his money to family and friends
2014 - has a massive heartattack while passing near a hospital, almost immediately turns blue. He survives.
Mr. Selak is still alive and thriving at the age of 88.
